Bad habits at the range . - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

As a reloader, I am often as concerned about the flight path of my brass as I am about the projectile, and I've developed this bad habit of snapping my head to the right to track the brass right after discharging the firearm.

Colleagues with whom I shoot often think I've developed a head flinch.

Not really the "range", but sometimes I leave my finger on the trigger guard when holstering my XD in the synthetic holster it came with. Results in either pushing my finger inside the guard or squashing the tip. Other than that, I've been called a "safety nazi" on more than one occasion, so fortunatly no dangerous habits.

That and lollygagging at the targets downrange during ceasefire as opposed to bringing the papers back to the line for analysis.

Spending not enough time these days. 15 minutes max, 50 rounds max.

My problem seems to be that I'm always forgetting to bring something when I go to the range, like my member badge, bug repellent, sunscreen, magazines, or brass tarp.

More than once I have gotten all this stuff together, arrived at the range only to realize I had left my ammo can at home.
